Active production — quoting against the BOM
Listed under product number SS-5GL13-12 in the Limit Switches category, this Omron part is the SPDT subminiature switch a panel builder drops onto a hinge, cam, or sliding gate to confirm mechanical position.
Where this switch class fits in a machine
A limit switch in this Omron family terminates the moving side of a guard door, an actuator cam, or a tray-detect lever — the contact transfers only at the end of mechanical travel, so the wiring lands on a safety relay or PLC discrete input rather than a power contactor coil. For a procurement line item, the relevant checklist is position function (SPDT vs DPDT), actuator style (pin plunger, lever, roller), termination (solder, PCB, quick-connect), and electrical rating — the datasheet fixes all four, and the BOM should freeze them before the RFQ so a substitution does not quietly shift the panel footprint.
